If you were casting for yet another Jesus movie, what actor would you select?

Given that Jesus was a Jew from Palestine, what modern-day actor would both look like him and be able to pull off the role?

I'd go with Naveen Andrews.

    No such person, Jesus is Mithra wearing a new name. Mithra predates Christianity by c1000 years. It is identical in every possible way, you can not tell them apart if not for minor tiny differences. Even the Vatican is on the site of the main Mithratic cathedral in Rome.

    So I would pick a Persian guy for the job, or probably some one from the Indus valley. That is where Mithra originates. ;)

    Practicing Shaman... quantum physics rocks.

    Jesus was only half Jew the other half was God. So, since we are all created in his image, any actor with a proper respect for the part could play it.

    I would watch anything with Johnny Depp in it. But I agree, Charles Manson would be a trip.
